ST. JOHNSBURY — Police in St. Johnsbury say a woman has been accused of trying to use her car to push another one into a river.

Police said 21-year-old Sara Foley tried to push the car of another woman into the Passumpsic River early Thursday because the woman was at the house of Foley’s former boyfriend.

The Burlington Free Press reported that police said they stopped Foley while she was driving away from the house. They said she registered a blood-alcohol level of 0.158 percent, nearly twice the legal limit.

She was cited for driving under the influence and leaving the scene of the accident.
